Installed from the market place on my Captivate. Works for GMail but I've had bad luck with Google Voice and missed calls. For missed calls, the LED shows up only when I hit the power/lock button. For GVoice, it never seems to show up.

For the captivate, it would be cool if it used the backlit capacitive buttons as an indicator. Just a thought and thank you for your work.

EDIT: I see that google voice is not currently supported but GTalk is - my bad.

@madmack

if you are looking for some gimicks to build in, may be you can increase the number of the notification points of each color according to the number of notifications of that type.

It's a great idea but it drained my battery from 65% to 20% in two hours.
[Android Apps and Games] oquinones:
I'm having a problem with the notification messing up the puzzle piece on the lock screen. After I acknowledge the notification and get to the lock screen and I slide the puzzle piece it doesn't take me to the messaging app. Is that a problem with the app or my phone. I'm on a Vibrant. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] NOSintake:
Love it! Going to test it out at work tomorrow, but so far, so good. Thanks for the app
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I think its your phone. Puzzle piece works fine here.

It shouldn't drain that much battery. Some estimates sit around %6 additional battery per hour. See if something else is causing this.

Am curious, when you receive a message in google voice, does it light up the screen or not ? If it doesn't, then a red dot should appear when you hear the notification sound. It won't work in silent/vibrate mode though. If it lights up the screen, and many people want google voice integration, then I'll look into that as well.
[Android Apps and Games] cfili:
GVoice was in silent mode and it does not light up when I get a notification.
[Android Apps and Games] beetlefeet:
Nice

Hey I really like this idea. Just downloaded and it seems to work fine on my Galaxy S.

I'll second the idea for more dots depending on the number of notifications of that type. That way you can see at a glance if you have an urgent number of things stacked up :) Or maybe the size of the dot can gradually grow from even a single pixel.

I'd also love more options such as dot size, dot movement (I'd like it to only move slightly each time, it would still save pixel life but slowly crawl around instead of jumping.)

Also I'd prefer the dot can be anywhere on the screen and not just the top, more fun that way :)

Also, tiny (8x8) icons would rule. And maybe a version that only uses red or only uses grey. (colours aren't a big deal for me).

I haven't had a chance to test battery life yet, but it really is the main factor that will determine if I (and others I'm sure) actually use the app. So being able to make the dots really small and move slower would be huge if it means even slightly better battery usage.

With a bunch of options to play with and if battery life is good I'd definitely pay a couple $ for this app.
[Android Apps and Games] beetlefeet:
An Idea

I just thought of an idea that might be possible for those who want to save the most battery.

You mention that when you turn the display back on the capacitive buttons will light up on touching, and they don't usually do that when the phone is locked. Maybe you can cause this state without leaving the screen on?

The idea is that to check if you have any notifications you tap the capacitive buttons. If they light up on touching it means there are notifications pending.

It's not as fun or as pretty but it might be useful to some. If you have the phone just sitting on the desk for example.

(You might ask why not just press the home button, I guess reasons are that you need to push it harder and then the screen comes on (using battery) and then you need to look in the small notification bar to check, not just for a glow right at your finger.)

Anyway it's just another idea, might not be to everyone's tastes :)

Keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] EricB68:
OK, I made some more testing on V 0.7 now. Maybe I found a minor bug.

Turned on the NoLED by pressing on the widget and make a phone call.

-> the std notification works, the screen turns black and stays black.

After some minutes it is still black. Pressing the on/off button on the right side

shows the NoLED screen. Killing the blue point and repeating the procedure

comes to the same result.

-> sending a mail to the googlemail account notifies with the purple point directly

without pressing on/off button. Killing that by pressing the home button and

erasing the system notification will let the phone show the next call notification

WITHOUT pressing on/off button, as it should be.

Looks like a flag or something other necessary is not set, when the first notification is a phone call. I did not test it with other combination yet e.g. email-notification -> phone-call.

Great tool

Eric
[Android Apps and Games] ipeench:
I was about to post the same thing... I been using this since .04 and its always been like that...when I slide the puzzle piece it just brings me to my joke screen not to the message

i just figured that's just how it was...

Bout go from 6 to 7 do maybe it will work then
[Android Apps and Games] sturmeh:
NoLED v0.7 kept the touchscreen disabled on an incoming call, it was impossible to answer the call, I ended up ringing back.

Bug?

I removed NoLED and now I can answer calls.
[Android Apps and Games] Joans:
Possibly related to the post above me (#378 in case anyone else posts in the meantime), but I'm using Handcent as my messaging app and when I get a text through, the popup shows with the notification screen in the background and the touchscreen is still disabled so I can't respond to the text.

I haven't noticed any problems with phone calls, but I'm not sure if anyone has phoned me since I installed v0.7

Issue with Google Talk

It works! Thanks a lot! Best app ever!
[Android Apps and Games] Remeniz:
Loving NoLED!

I've set it up so that I get no icons at all on the display and the only notification I get is the soft keys flashing at the intervals I set and an audible tone. This works great for me cause I don't need the colorful icons and stuff but I've noticed, in the dark, that the display lights up very briefly when the soft keys light up.

Is there any way you can completely disable the screen, or is this just the way the S2 works?

:)
[Android Apps and Games] tom0101:
Great app thank you :D
[Android Apps and Games] olarf:
It's maybe kind of OT but I dont found a thread about no LED app in the Galaxy Y thread so I ask here. We test the app on a Galaxy Y Pro Duos and it works so far but it was always not easy to get out of the lock screen. So we finaly uninstall it but maybe ther eis a setting about the lock screen to unlock it easy!?
[Android Apps and Games] Buttopuo:
Finally problem is solved.

After uninstalling, deleting data of noled and reinstalling, everything works fine for me.

Thanks for great app.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Unfortunately this is not possible without root or a modified kernel. The backlight of the physical capacitive keys don't turn on without the screen being on at the same time. It's hard-coded and there is no way around it. Google around for BLN if you're rooted and maybe there is a working implementation for your device.

Try to use the back key to get back to your lock screen instead of the home key. You might also want to make use of the double tapping to dismiss (go to misc > dismiss keys > and enable double tapping)
[Android Apps and Games] bomba6:
Overlapping Icons

I thought this problem was solved in earlier version, but I see it now again:

1) Icons (incl. time and charging %) are overlapping each other

2) Icons (incl. time and charging %) are sometimes too close to the edges of the screen and getting cut-off. So like instead of seeing 20:00 I see 20:0

I'm sure these are easy to fix.

Besides, I love this app!

Using SGS with cyanogenmod 9 (nightly from 1604).
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
i'm not able to replicate this issue. i first thought you had a very small res device but the sgs should be able to handle the charge+time without an overlap :confused:

custom dpi settings perhaps? i can't think of any other reason. I've ran these two through some rigorous testing on the emulator and on my two devices. v5.1.4 should be overlap free unless there is no space left on the screen (which i doubt is your case)
[Android Apps and Games] bomba6:
Nope, no custom DPI or something like that.

And it happens even when I only have charging and time displayed (without any other icons). It's not a big problem, just cosmetic.

I'll try to capture this when it happens.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Is there a setting I can change so that if I get a notification and the app that created the notification later clears it, NoLED stops notifying?

Example: While the screen is on, get an using K9 Email, and I read that email on my webmail. K9 clears that notification, it no longer shows in my notification bar in Android. So it seems to me like K9 is doing the right thing here. However, when the screen is off and this happens, NoLED will continue to notify me of the new email until I clear the notification in NoLED.

Sorry if this is a FAQ, I don't see it in your official FAQ, and this is a long thread and searching for "notification" and this app doesn't work well. Thanks :)

NoLed on Samsung Wave with Bada?

Hi altogether,

since I used to use mobiles with LEDs so far and really liked their functionality I'm now looking for sth. similar for my Samsung Wave GT-S8500 running Bada (2.0).

An appropriate question regarding NoLed has already been raised within this thread here. But there does not seem to be an answer yet at all. Furthermore all appropriate searches within the web and relevant fora have not been successful yet. Not regarding NoLed on Samsung Wave/Bada nor regarding a similar app.

Can anybody please tell me sth. regarding this topic?

Many thanks in advance and

Best Regards
[Android Apps and Games] pedrsantiago:
great app :)

Is there any way in which this app could harm the AMOLED screen?
[Android Apps and Games] bomba6:
It is the opposite for me (different configuration though):

While the screen is off, and I'm getting an email in gmail (which is synced with my phone of course) I see the notification in NoLED. After I read the email (from gmail.com or from my outlook [synced with IMAP]) NoLED dismisses the notification.

I like it!

Should it work with other email apps? I don't know.

(I know it's not so helpful, just wanted to mention how it behaves with gmail, for comparison).
[Android Apps and Games] lvwei315:
cool！
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Odd.. K9/Kaiten seems to be dismissing the notification as far as I can tell (the new mail icon disappears if I send myself an email, read it, all while the screen is left on), so I'd assumed it must be NoLED not updating. I'll have to try the GMail app too, I don't have it sync typically as GMail isn't my primarily email. If it works fine for me too, perhaps I'll ask the K9 folks more, although not sure what to ask about. :)
[Android Apps and Games] kenstire:
My wife has a LG Lucid from Verizon that she just got running Android 2.3 and she installed the Noled program to be able to get notifications. Noled seems to be working fine except that a couple of random dots keep popping up on her display throughout the day unrelated to any notifications. Problem is that when these dots pop up it activates the screen which is killing her battery. Any idea why random non-notifications dots are popping up?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Unfortunately this can't be done with K9 or any third party app that you check in Monitored Apps. NoLED is able to tell when a Gmail is read because it receives the correct notification from Gmail about it. K-9 doesn't support that and neither does the Accessibility platform that NoLED uses to notify you of third party apps via Monitored Apps. Put simply, NoLED is able to tell when a status bar notification appears, but not when it disappears.

I can only tell you that this app has been out on the play store for quite a while and so far I haven't had an email about dead pixels or faulty screens caused by this app.

You should probably let the folks at K-9 send a "broadcast" when an email is read. Once they implement that, then I'll reflect these changes in NoLED and make sure that these K9 notifications disappear just like the Gmail ones currently do.

Go to the colors submenu and see which event these dots correspond to by matching the color of the dot with whatever is selected here.

Better yet, go to the Icons submenu and check everything that you see there. Then you'll easily identify the culprit.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news man but Bada is a dead platform. Get yourself an Android device and you'll have plenty of apps around including this one :D

blinking not working properly SGS2 ics remix

From 5.1.5 the blinking mode correctly catches the notification and shows the virtual led but after the first screen off it doesn't reappear.

I reinstalled 5.1.4 and all works properly.

[Android Apps and Games] tyranitar:
Great! Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] GrinningArmor:
I just updated my SGS2 to ICS. NoLED seems to work fine save for one issue:

I had NoLED set up to turn off the screen when the proximity sensor is covered, so it stays off while it's in my pocket to save battery. Whenever I took the phone out of my pocket, the sensor was uncovered and NoLED would show, right away, any notification icons I might have. This worked fine on Gingerbread.

Since the update to ICS, however, when the proximity sensor is uncovered, NoLED doesn't turn the screen back on.

So the notification icons are not shown until I press the Home key. At that point, if I press the Home key once more, NoLED will dismiss the icons, as it should. But if I cover/uncover the screen again, it just won't turn back on until I press the Home key.

I've poked around the settings in case something was wrong, but no - it's the same setup I had on Gingerbread.

Any pointers?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Wait for the update (I will try to release it later on today) or downgrade to v5.1.4 meanwhile.

The problem is a lot bigger than I initially thought.

I might have to roll back to the "safe" implementation which breaks the legacy menu button gray bar on HTC One devices until this is sorted out properly.

But I'll need beta testers to make sure that the new implementation doesn't break Blink, Proximity sensor and 3rd party popup intrusion detection.

Might as well just release that new implementation to everyone and take cover.

The major problem with NoLED is that it relies on broadcasts and device state very heavily. Unfortunately not all manufacturer's choose to implement APIs the same way. And now, I'm realizing that not all app SDK versions (targetSdkVersion) trigger the same sequence of events either.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I decided to go ahead with my beta implementation and see what happens. v5.2 is out in the Market and in the OP. It should take care of both the blink/proximity sensor issues in 5.1.5 and keep the HTC One gray bar fixes intact.
[Android Apps and Games] tyranitar:
v5.2 blinking is properly working!

SGS2 with 4.0.3 no brand

I'm testing NoLed from couple of weeks and I find a very interest app that I would like to use, after the last upgrade that solved the "1 blink issue" it works fine for a while and after it doesn't work, likes the app is off (in the notification bar and also the app it seems on). The only work around that I found is switch off and on again.

Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
hmmm..

i did reorganize the entire start/termination of that notification screen so perhaps this is a side effect.

Are you using the back key to dismiss NoLED? If not, can you try to dismiss it with the back key and see if the problem disappears?

Blinking behaviour inconsistant on Galaxy Note

Looking over recent posts to this thread it looks like the "blink" function is a real tough nut to crack, but i thought i'd let you know what i'm experiencing in the hopes that you can fix it (and that it's not Samsung's meddling with Android!).

The problem i experience is that on my galaxy note i have the blink set to 100ms on and then 3 secs off, with no blink with proximity sensor.

The blink initially works but after dismissing a few notifications or covering the proximity sensor eventually it switches to always on mode.

the first version i installed was 5.1.4 but the problem appears in 5.1.5 and 5.2.

I have attached the pref.xml file incase that helps.

restarting the service kind of resets it back to desired behaviour but given my limited testing i couldn't tell if that would consistantly restore it.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
It seems that all hell did break loose when i bumped targetsdkversion. :mad:

Thing is, the behavior is now different on ICS and GB. I might have to revert back eventually to the low Eclair target so that the behavior remains consistent as it was in v5.1.4. Only issue with that is the nagging legacy menu overflow button on ICS's navigation bar which shows up as a gray bar on HTC One devices.

I just upgraded my Note to ICS and I'm not able to replicate this behavior. Do you know how to grab a logcat of NoLED's events if I give you a debug version? That could help significantly.
[Android Apps and Games] gipgip:
Unfortunately I confirm the issue that after a while on my sgs2 with ics the blink notification stop to work

The only way to recovery is stop noted and restart

I didn't find a specific trig that caused the stop
[Android Apps and Games] mr.rubbish:
Sure, I can always test the issue with a debug version if you want. The logcat thing might require some instructions though. And if my Note gets the ICS upgrade this weekend and it fixes the issue, i'll let you know too.

@gipgip & @mr.rubbish can you guys try to uninstall the app and reinstall it (reset all the data, so don't restore if it prompts you to) and see if the issue is resolved? I got an email from a person who told me that this took care of the issue on his device so it is worth a try before I give you guys debug versions and ask for logcat outputs.

few questions:

1. are you using any 3rd party sms app? or are you using the default app?

2 .Does Imo beta switch the screen on when you receive a notification?

3. Do you have the default Android lock screen enabled?
[Android Apps and Games] canadianroots13:
SMS Is the normal default App

I have the Switch Screen off for IMO Beta cause I think its annoying as hell

I Have the default Android Lock Screen on with my phone

I also notice that I'm not getting Facebook which is set up as a monitored App

I tried resetting all the settings back to default and then redoing them in NoLED but that didn't seem to fix it either.

Charging Indicator not working

I have noLED 5.2 running on a Samsung Galaxy S2 with ICS I9100XWLP7. My problem is that the Charging Indicator and the time don't always show up. This specially happens when my phone is plugged to my laptops USB port, but also when I plug it to the wall charger. When I restart the phone it works fine for a while but when I go back to my home screen something gets screwed up and it does not work again the next time my phone locks itself. Notifications do show up, but neither the charging indicator and the time show up. Oh, I have my phone encrypted so the lock screen works with a password in order to unlock it.
